Il femminicidio nella stampa italiana: un’indagine linguistica

The perception of femicide and violence against women has known a constant evolution in recent years; both mass media and political and social actors tried to raise awareness on the issue. According to Diana Russell’s definition (the killing of females by males because they are females), femicide has to be considered as a social and political fact and not just as ordinary crimes: it represents extreme manifestations of male dominance over female. Our aim is to analyse how these facts are represented every day in the Italian press. In our thesis we collected and analysed articles from the online edition of four of the most important national newspapers in Italy (Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, Il Fatto Quotidiano and Libero) and from two Sardinian local newspapers (L’Unione Sarda and La Nuova Sardegna). The time span goes from January 2010 to May 2015. We will examine how the characters are depicted in the texts, what are the reasons behind the facts, and how violence itself is described, together with other linguistic aspects related to the headlines, to the use of direct speech and quotes from the protagonists of the events

Un approccio per la definizione di uno strumento di smart planning finalizzato all'integrazione dell'efficienza energetica nella trasformazione della città

Il contributo contiene i primi risultati di una ricerca che ha lo scopo di costruire una metodologia per la definizione di piani o programmi capaci di mettere a sistema il paradigma energetico con le istanze di tutela dei paesaggi urbani, con la ridotta disponibilità di risorse finanziare delle amministrazioni e dei cittadini, e con normative edilizie non sempre adeguate alle nuove esigenze. Si propone l'implementazione di una piattaforma di raccolta ed elaborazione dati provenienti da fonti istituzionali e con modalità di acquisizione partecipate. Lo strumento consiste in un insieme di interfacce dinamiche disegnate per rispondere alle esigenze delle tipologie di attori coinvolti nei processi di trasformazione della città e promuovere stili di consumo energetico consapevoli. Si aprono quindi prospettive di ricerca che interessano lo sviluppo di modelli insediativi basati su sistemi energetici decentralizzati integrati nel tessuto urbano esistente e di strumenti per la rappresentazione e diffusione dell'informazione sulle tematiche del risparmio energetico

Pain Management During Office Hysteroscopy: A Survey of Hysteroscopists

Outpatient hysteroscopy can be a painful procedure for some patients and there is still no consensus regarding analgesia use. We evaluated which types and modalities of analgesia are most commonly used in a select group of hysteroscopists

The 12-month treatment with the oral contraceptive formulation containing dienogest (DNG) and estradiol valerate (E2V) shows beneficial effects on psychological symptoms: results from a prospective comparative study with a formulation containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) and drospirenone (DRSP)

The COCs evolution has been obtained with new and differents progestinic compounds associated with lower doses of EE (ethinylestradiol). The revolution in the COCs field is the introduction of estradiol valerate (E2V), ester of the natural estrogen, estradiol (E2) instead of EE. Dienogest (DNG) is the progestinic compound of the COC Klaira® associated with E2V in a multiphase formulation. DNG has a strong antiandrogenetic action without the mineralcorticoid and glucocorticoid action and E2V acts in this association improving the subjective sleep quality, somatic complaints, anxiety, vigilance, cognition and numerical memory. The EE/DRSP (drospirenone) association (Yaz®) has a progestinic compound characterized by antimineralcorticoid and antiandrogenic properties with a positive effect on psychological symptoms. In this prospective study we evaluated if E2V is able to exert the same psychological symptoms as EE/DRSP formulation. Psychological changes were evaluated with SCL90 for 5 cycles. In comparison with the basal value the score was significantly reduced (p<0,001) during both treatments. This effects observed confirm that DNG and DRSP act with beneficial effects on CN
